King Charles III to make changes to his coronation: Which ones will break with centuries of tradition?

For many in Great Britain there has never been a coronation, they have never seen any other monarch than Queen Elizabeth II, however her son, Charles, will be coronated in May.

In that ceremony, though, the new monarch is bucking tradition and will refuse to conform with centuries of monarch's wearing traditional royal attire.

Charles has opted to refuse to wear that, instead preferring a military attire for the historic event.

Prince Harry unlikely to be invited

With this decision, King Charles will not wear stockings and breeches according to The Daily Mail, with his reasoning being that they look too dated.

His military uniform will be a throwback to the one worn by his grandfather, who was also regularly seen in his military attire rather than royal dress.

This, though, is not the biggest decision that the new King will face ahead of his coronation.

The divide between Prince Harry and the rest of the Royal Family has been well-documented, especially with the second son of Charles doing repeated interviews in America.

It isn't expected that he will be welcome or invited to the coronation in May, although the final decision will come down to Charles himself.

Coronation unlikely to be as grandiose as expected

One specific change requested by King Charles is that his coronation is a much smaller affair than the event which officially saw his mother take the throne.

Charles wants it to be far more understated, although the spectacle, according to the Daily Mail, will still 'knock your socks off'.
